It wouldn't make any difference if the Cadillac was much better, the Germans aren't going to buy non-German luxury cars in even triple digit numbers.

I saw the results of a survey of German car owners several years ago. The Mercedes was rated as most desired car but with the worst ownership experience.

Re: 2014 Cadillac CTS: This Is It

Can you explain me then, how can i have a 1992 seville and a 2008 sts and a 2012 escalade with us size license plates in the netherlands in my garage when i'm completely wrong?
Is the 2012 escalade a classic import car?
And the other 2008 sts and 7 other 2012 escalades in my company, all classic imports?

Re: 2014 Cadillac CTS: This Is It

Here's my 2 cent...

I've always owned Japanese/German cars. Never in a million years would I ever consider purchasing a Cadillac until I saw the CTS coupe graced the cover of an auto mag. It was love at first sight. I didn't even care if it had any personality..... much like a Victoria Secret super model. That car truly emphasized the "Art" in "Art & Science". I am sad to say the new CTS is all "Science" and little "Art". This will be my first and last Cadillac.

Why would they model the rear end to look similar to the XTS? The XTS targets an older customer base, this CTS will not attract new customers, it will only cannibalize XTS sales.

Cadillac did something nobody thought was possible, they brought the brand back by giving us new and exciting models. This is a monumental step backwards for them, the back end is almost indiscernible from a car that is already a couple years old.

I am in my 30's and the current CTS is the perfect size for me. The ATS is too small and the XTS is too big and 'old person' for me. In Cadillac's obsessive desire to copy the Germans, I wonder if it ever occurred to them that if they kept focusing on putting out new, exciting, and innovative cars, eventually, the Germans would start to copy Cadillac!
